London stuff that I miss

This post is long overdue. It has been 9 months since I’ve left London! Fond memories of my year there. Here are the quirks that I miss.

Creative delay reasons

I was on my way to work. I took the tube. You know, that underground train thing in London. Guess what, there’s a delay due to… “Too much sun.” At first I thought I heard it wrong. Too bad, I wasn’t. Seriously, what has the sun go to do with an underground train?!?!?

Underground delays pretty much everyday during peak hour. Each time some poor person states some reason over the speakers. E.g. staff didn’t come to work, it is too cold, it is too hot, too much wind etc

English accent

Free entry to museums

Any age and any time in London. e.g. British museum, V&A etc. Sigh. No such luck here in Paris.

British Museum – free entry for all ages

Of course, I miss the friends that I made there. But then again, they know who they are 😉

*Bonus item* Thing that I totally NOT miss… garden slugs

I lived on ground level and that was a BAD idea. Guess what, whenever it rained; which was VERY often, these guys visited my place.How to prevent these guys from coming in? Or how to kill them? Witch craft! Sprinkle salt next to the windows and doors.

So that’s all from me this time. Thank you for reading. Is there anything that you miss since you’ve left London?

Haha, too much sun, I remember that being on the News, gotta love how we just can not cope with any weather here that’s not 15-20 degrees!

Street eating in London is fun, there’s lots of places you can pick up something tasty that’s not from a chain and just keep on going!

Euch I hate slugs, just because the dogs carry them in, they don’t come into the house otherwise, so not only is it gross and slimy, but it’s also slobbery – and I have to work out if it’s dead or alive, I can rerelease into the fields at the back of our house or not!

Yikes, sorry, Rachel. This comment gone into spam. Only spotted it now.

You know, with the slugs, I think that’s where the “witchcraft” thing came from. The line of salt keeps them away haha.

As long as the Tories are in power, we’re unlikely to move back. Plus, with Brexit happening, I don’t know if EU citizens are welcomed any more. sigh Sad to have to leave, London was so lively and there’s so much to see.

LMAO, “too much sun” are you kidding me?! Here they’re a bit cryptic, “unauthorized personnel on the track level” or “personal injury”…
Hmm Street Food is the best! Does London have food trucks?
Heee that slug looks like a snail without its shell! I kind of want one as a pet. I don’t mind slimy things.
